    Material Hardness, where to find?

    Was wondering if someone could point me to a table or something that shows the hardness for various materials. I found on the hypertext SRD adamantine and mithrel and all that but is there a place with mundane material hardness?

    Help me challenge my 12th level party with hobgobolins!

    Artillery. Ballista. Lots of mighty composite longbows. With Human-bane arrows. Maybe they have a hobgoblin shaman that's spelled some stone giants and they pummel anything from afar with rocks. Maybe the stone giants just like to kill intruders and the hobgoblins pay them tribute. Maybe the...

    [Ptolus] The Power Level of NPCs

    The latest bit of Ptolus I was reading on the train this morning talks about how being a city setting, the players can heal themselves easily at any temple so suggests that you up the EL a bit since the PC's are likely to only have one fight a day versus a standard of 4 or so. Maybe thats a part...

    who should choose familiar/spells DM or player?

    Another vote for jerk DM. If he's not going to let you play a sorc by the rules, I would simply say Fine, i'm not gonna be a sorc, I'll take another level of ranger. If he was being a jerk about it I'd just start rolling for everything. Do you go down the hall ? Roll. Hi, i'm <roll>, glad to...

    Escaping an explosion

    http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/phantomSteed.htm A phantom steed has a speed of 20 feet per caster level, to a maximum of 240 feet so thats a speed of 80 ft, running x3 for 240ft of movement a round assuming you dont have a bunch of obstecles to dodge and slow you down. "Run away!!!" edit...

    It's a beautiful baby +2 Vorpal Sword!

    I dont think its been mentioned, but what about instead of having to "birth" the item, it swells into a huge lump and seperates from the host body, like a bud of flesh or seomthing. maybe it deals like 1d4 points of con dmg. A little flesh cocoon kind of thing. Gah, was also thinking of Aliens...

    non-interventionist gods (in a D&D world)

    Don't forget dragonlance's history also has a spat of time where the gods didnt grant any divine spells, and all sorts of fake religions popped up since ppl assumed the gods had abandoned them. Are you looking for non-interviening gods that dont grant spells or do grant spells ?

    Is this fair? -- predict the general opinion

    I said not fair mainly because the lethality of the trap isn't conveyed. The direct assumption would be that the level opens the door, which is a fairly reasonable deduction. A save-or-die effect with no indication that its a save-or-die is just not fair. For the described scenario there...

    What do you do if you make a paladin and you roll, say, a 4.

    Put it in Str, Play a Gully Dwarf , use a sewer grate as a shield, and wield a kitchen knife. Then when you get killed by a housecat, roll up a new character :D

    How do the unicorn skills work out?

    Its not, because 8 + 6 = 14? ;)

    Economics of Magic Items

    Ahh ok. Makes sense :). I could even see it going the other way and say making the gp cost 25% but you have to spend more xp.(maybe 1/20'th or 1/15'th)

    Economics of Magic Items

    Why a 25% discount? If he's making the items then it should be half, yes ? Assuming you start out right at enough xp level for 10th lvl, then the first item he makes is going to actually make him 9th lvl. I can understand wanting to limit gear somewhat, but if a character is willing to spend xp...

    Casting time 24 hours - how long does it take?

    With a ring of sustenance most of the problems mentioned go away. Like none of you have stayed up 24 hours at a LAN-party or something similar? Its not That Hard.

    How does one become a lich?

    Pretty much left up to DM discretion I would guess then? Probably involves the murdering of innocents or excessive torture or components like the still-beating hearts of fifty newborns or something else Really Bad since it says its "unspeakably evil".

    Earth elemental blind in earth: oversight?

    I have never heard of this, do you remember where you saw this ?

    Earth elemental blind in earth: oversight?

    I'd say that since it has Earth Glide then it should definately be able to know where its going in the earth, just like a fish in water. Definately an oversight imho.
